Food Heroes

Food Heroes

Keith Floyd - simply the best
Bruce Poole - great quality and skill personified
Rick Stein - for fantastic recipes, boundless enthusiasm, and for bringing an educated approach to food programming, that isn't always present.........
Nigel Slater - for a writing style that I don't think can be beaten
Giorgio Locatelli - because my wife fancies him, and he made her birthday by signing her menu, and coming out to say hello... (sometimes its the little things...)
Ross Hunter - owner of Surrey Hills Brewery - an old friend who followed his dream
Antonio Carluccio - his passion his food, and his country, are infectious
Eric and Sarah Guignord - who run the brilliant The French Table in Surbiton - my new favourite place! Great food and excellent service every time.


All of these are my food heroes, and many, many more

Tayyabs - E1 1JU

A great meal at Tayyab's recently.
Everything you may have heard about the lamb chops is right - they were fantastic.

The chicken tikka comes without the usual flourescent glow - and is all the better for it.
The place is a phenomenon - in the wastelands of Whitechapel - probably the best Indian / Pakistani food I have ever had. There were queues out the door at 6:30 on a Friday evening - and now I know why!
None of the refinement of the Cinamon Club, and no celebrity chef like Cafe Spice Namaste, but the cooking is expert. A short menu executed perfectly.
The place is absolutely packed - below is  picture the floor we were on empty - but you will never see it like that!!

The service is frenetic - and the place is loud - definitely go with a group. One of our party had a mixed grill and that was the best of a very good bunch.
The bill came in at just under £100.00 for 7 of us - and everyone was full........
It's BYO - so pick up the beer of your choice - and get stuck in!!
You won't regret it.
